What a cute little place! They will be moving to a new location (arguably better) soon. Meanwhile,…read moreI went with my daughter to lunch here as it's her favorite place. She had one of their gourmet sandwiches and I had a salad. The service was warm and friendly. The salad that I had (The Courtyard) was delicious but it is definitely for a smaller appetite. The dressing was delicious and if they bottle it I'd buy it. I'd put it a little on the pricier side for what you get but definitely a good spot for lunch.

Basel's Market was recommended to us for lunch while staying in St. Francisville for a weekend…read moretrip. The building is absolutely precious, and includes many places to eat inside and outside (even some porch seating). There is also a little store area inside where you can buy various gifts, branded merchandise, snacks, and even some of the items off of the menu (we purchase containers of basil dip and chicken salad to bring home with us). You order your food at the counter and are given a number for your table (self-seating). The food was brought out as it was ready, which was rather quickly. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We ordered The Basil (sandwich). My friend ordered it as-is, and I ordered it subbing mayo for honey-mustard. We also ordered the Basil Dip. Everything was so fresh and delicious! I would highly recommend making a stop here for lunch if you're in St Francisville!

The redfish was served regular (at our request did not want blackened) and was very good. Crab cake salad was great as well. I did get the concrete on the side and the crab cakes were a little salty if you ate without the salad - I paired with with the veggies and was perfect...ate it all!! Redfish cooked perfectly and was tasty! GENEROUS portions for the price!! Ambiance is nice, but not for the hard of hearing as it got quite loud as the crowd grew.

In reading the reviews I can't help but feel this area is a TOUGH CROWD! Sure a new restaurant is…read moregoing to have its growing pains. Let's be realistic for a minute. First of all, from a tourist point of view, the design completely aligns with the progressive vibe of this area. Jaheim welcomed us as soon as we walked in. It was explained that there are two parts to the restaurant: one side was table service with air conditioning, the other side was service from the bar without air conditioning yet plenty of fans. We elected to stay in the side with table service. Jaheim was very kind and hospitable. We ordered 2 lemonades and the Asian Chicken Salad. We were surprised how quickly we were served! The salad had the right amount of dressing and the lemonade wasn't too sweet. Perfect! The restaurant itself is clean and well maintained. The music and ambiance is calming with soft cafe style music. Fitting for a Sunday afternoon. If you're looking for a non touristy area with southern charm, this just might be it!

When writing a review, please consider addressing your concerns with the server and/or management before posting. Give them the opportunity to fix/help with your concerns first. Clearly a lot of work has gone into the development of Bayou Sara. Jaheim and Bayou Sara welcomed us with that kind southern hospitality we were hoping for! We look forward to returning next time we're in this area!

The Summer Blonde was the winner, though sadly it didn't have much competition. As an IPA drinker I was completely underwhelmed by the flavor profiles of the beers. Unfortunately, all were very weak or a total miss. Great location with lots of potential but they need a legit brewmaster ASAP to make it long term. Based on other reviews, we chose to have our meal elsewhere so cannot comment on the food.

Very friendly, happy and checked on me at just the right times. I always go for that Combination Plate, because I just can't steer myself away from it. The Chicken Shwarma and Gyros meat are always tender and flavorful. The Grecian Sauce, aka Tzatziki is amazing! The pita bread is fresh, and the hummus is a nice side along with the feta salad.
